Our youngest campers enjoy a half day camp from 9am-12pm. Rising 1st and 2nd graders spend their mornings exploring along the banks of the Rappahannock. Learn about the plants and animals that make the river their home. Play games, meet new friends, hike, make sand castles, and much more! If you like to get dirty and spend time outdoors, this camp is for you!
